Jotei: we are in your brain, killing off your braincells

Jan 03, 2008 22:44

After filmi_girl came over and we had a blast watching Capital Scandal (yes, I love it enough to rewatch it ASAP and we will continue tomorrow), I decided I was too exhausted to watch Snow White so put in something stupid. This 'stupid' is Jotei, a Japanese drama about a high school student who decides to achieve revenge on the high and mighty by becoming ( Read more... )

Jotei is possibly the only jdrama out there that's too scarifying for me.

I vote Rondo or Hotaru no Hikari or Love Generation.

Jotei is SO stupid, I almost can't bear it. But it's like a trainwreck, I can't look away.

Btw, your evil GW posts made me get it from netflix so I know how I am spending my weekend :)

ROFL.

GW is...something else. I'm just not sure WHAT. It actually is interesting, and despite all the systems malfunctions, they all make sense, even though there are so many ofthem. It just has insane characters, even for an anime.

Let's see if I will be the only person in history to like Relena.

You know though, the lead (Kato Rosa) does get better. She pulls off some decent stuff in the final episode, I thought. If anything, watching Matsuda and her grow as actors is fun as well as the crack. ;)

She gets better? Cool.

I am not very demanding of my leads (just as well, considering how many idol dramas I watch) and especially not in a drama like this, which is hardly a threat to Kimura Takuya et al in terms of thespian art and plot.

So I am actually amused by the woodenness. A really profound actress would probably be all wrong for this anyhow.

LOL, if "he can't make love to her body, he'll make love to her heart" *DIES*

Forget the WTF plot, forget the sketch factor, forget the ridic dresses, focus on Matsuda Shota looking (slightly greasy) but unbelievably hot. With a little bit of fast-forwarding, I found Jotei not too hard to get through :D.

He does look very yummy.

It's not painful because it anesthetized my brain :)

AHAHAHAH. JOTEI. OH MAN. I was trying to describe it to my friend and all she did was make o.o faces at me the entire time. It's seriously so weird and strange, but it's addicting and I can't stop watching even though I'm halfway and..have stopped. *laughs*

I vote Hotaru no Hikari! Only because I don't know the others. XPPP

I need a Fujiki Naohito fix so HnH is pretty high up.

Jotei is soooooooooooooo stupid and I love.

I love reading about Jotei but I don't think I could bring myself to actually watch it. I will just content myself with living voraciously through you and filmi_girl.

This is the worst thing ever. And because of it, so funny.
